Are you guys speaking from experience or just guessing? Would paint thinner/mineral spirits damage the plastic of an SNES?

Rubbing alchohol works. I just tried it.

Hm, I should use that to remove the silver paint from my N64 case. I was thinking of asking the same question, and you just asked and answered it.

you could try heavily watered down paint thinner and that might remove that last bit left on there.
